Going to give Apple a try.

Oh yeah....the battery life is amazing!!
Running Chrome it gets around 6 hours run time,double what the ASUS managed.
They say using Safari will get you 8 or 9 hours.

Really like this thing so far.

I have an advice for you, just available again, many mods support Mac OS:
Mac App Store - Command Conquer Generals Deluxe Edition

Example (modded version, Windows):
Favorite PC Game Page 66 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

Mods:
Mods for Games - Mod DB

Looks pretty good I'll be sure and check it out.
Waiting to see Apples new music streaming with Beats.
Supposed to be available June 30.

Heard about it when the Sony CEO peached it. Must be some really new thing that is supposed to revolutionize the music business online.

You know how they hype this kind of shit. I guess we'll see.

I gotta say,after using the MacBook for a week or so I used the wifes Windows laptop while the Mac was tied up downloading and it felt absolutely clunky.
The ease of use is incredible in comparison.
I give it a big !!

It's not the operating system so much as the mouse pad.
You never have to take your fingers of the mouse pad until you need to type something.
No hitting the scroll buttons,just use two fingers on the pad.
It's way more efficient and effortless.

I just hate mouse pads

Or should I say Track Pad...?
Most of this shit is greek to me,but I do know web surfing and all around screwing around on the internet is far easier with the MacBook.
For what I'm going to use a laptop for it works way better than windows.
To tell you the truth the idea of sounding like a Mac fanboy disturbs me greatly but I ain't gonna lie about it.

It just works for what I'm doing.

Didn´t say you are a fan boy. Just saying Windows is running great on my machine. Maybe, your wife´s computer is loaded with a lot of tools that slow it down like anti-virus tools and pc optimizers.

My biggest problem with Windows, has always been viruses and security. To this day, I have never once backed up anything on my Mac, nor ever installed in virus protection, or any security software whatsoever. Not once.

And I have never lost anything, or been wiped out by a virus.

Never been worried about it.

Windows, there is seemingly always some virus somewhere, or some crash, or something.

Remember when everyone was freaking out about the "Heartbleed" thing? I never once even bothered to look up what it was. Why bother? I'm on a Mac. It isn't affected by PC viruses.

I didnt accuse you of calling me one...I was concerned about sounding like one.
It had nothing to do with the speed. It's all around ease of use.

I use my Mac for home and a PC at work. The ONLY area where the PC is superior is for using M$FT Excel. Excel on the Mac sucks.

Pretty sure I read recently it doesn't effect the 2015 models.
From what I read the only reason macs dont tend to get viruses as easy is that hackers dont want to screw around with it because of the fewer numbers of macs out there.
More bang for the buck with windows.

I dont use mine for anything but screwing around on the internet and using slingbox to watch games when i'm at the lake.

Exactly, PCs have the largest market share by leaps and bounds, if Mac or Linux were the top dogs (or at least close) they'd be targeted much more often. Doesn't mean they aren't targeted just no where near the degree PCs are.

Consumerism is now confetti, and you have to keep up to look professional in the new imaginarium.

You have to be imaginative and think like a child for professionals to believe you are invested in today's brand of colorized user-friendly tech-production (i.e., Apple Computers).

Where did this paradoxically ornamental-mechanical design trend come from and what does it profit the new user-friendly market?

Apple has gained incredible reputation for delivering products that are both reliable and fun.

I'd stay up-to-date with iPhone and iWatch developments (ooops sorry, I meant just Apple Watch).

The Problem:
Once you have purchased an Apple Device ("decoyed", Jobs would flush his feet down the toilette for joy), you are forced to use Apple software and accept the limitations. That is not user-friendly.

As it is I still hate Windows 8.1 with a passion and if Windows 10 is anything remotely like it I'll be done with Windows forever.

It has a lot to do with what you want to use it for.
All I do is surf the net,store photos,run the Sling box,use the blue tooth for music and it works great.
And the hackers pretty much leave you alone because they have bigger fish to fry.
A win,win for the casual user.
